Citicoline and piracetam were subjected separately to different stress conditions as recommended by the international conference on harmonization. In addition, new stability indicating thin layer chromatographic and ultra high performance liquid chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of citicoline and piracetam in presence of their degradation products. Separation on the proposed thin layer chromatographic method was carried out using a developing system containing methanol:chloroform:ammonium chloride buffer (9:1:2, v/v/v) on silica gel plates at 230 nm. On the other hand, the mobile phase in the ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method was composed of water (containing 0.1% triethylamine):ethanol (92:8, v/v). The flow rate was 1 mL/min and ultraviolet detection was at 230 nm. Moreover, results of the developed methods were statistically compared to those obtained by the reported high‐performance liquid chromatography method and no significant difference between them was found. The greenness profile of ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method was assessed and compared with those of the previously published high‐performance liquid chromatography methods, it was noticed that the proposed ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method more environmentally friendly and greener than other methods.
